Floodgate Poetry Series Vol. 5 (Paperback)

Description

Floodgate Poetry Series Vol. 5 collects three chapbooks in a single volume: Sarah Rebecca Warren's Price of Admission, Derrick Weston Brown's On All Fronts, and T.R. Hummer's Dark Meter.

This is the fifth volume in the Floodgate Poetry Series, edited by Andrew McFadyen-Ketchum. Chapbooks--short books under 40 pages--arose when printed books became affordable in the 16th century. The series is in the tradition of 18th and 19th century British and American literary annuals, and the Penguin Modern Poets Series of the 1960s and '70s.
